‘To be a hero you need something to be heroic about’ Maher explained to the militia.

The armed right-wing extremists who’ve taken over a federal building at a wildlife refuge in Oregon just keep digging themselves into an even deeper hole with their past unlawful indiscretions coming home to roost.

It seems the government’s idea to wait them out has turned them into an even bigger joke than they already are.

So, of course Bill Maher took them to task on Friday’s ‘Real Time: New Rules’.

‘They keep on promising to ‘occupy that building until… well we’re not really sure’ Maher mocked the disorganized cult of stupidity.

‘And they’re not sure – something about ‘redneck lives matter.’

He showed the strange video that anti-Islam activist John Ritzheimer made for his kids explaining his participation in the Oregon siege: ‘Daddy swore an oath’ he said.

The reality is the guy was just going to extreme lengths to avoid his family during the holidays – Maher quipped.
